Absolutely stunning piece of gear from Fiio.

I'm 33 and went to my first Canjam in Denver a few years ago, since then I have been listening to the Focal Elear driven by the Sony CAS-1 amplifier. Pretty great but I'm traveling around America now in an RV/van and needed something portable without losing the quality I have come to expect from the Focal/Sony kit.

This M11 Pro paired with the FH7 checks all of the boxes for me. Zero noise interference, fast and detailed sound with impressive bass.

I listen with Tidal streaming, mainly electronic genres and some jazz or hiphop sprinkled in. Neck is tired from all the head nodding today.

I guess I need the 4.4mm balanced cable to get the full effect of this balanced DAP?

Thanks Fiio for getting products of such high quality out for less than the competition!

You listening while driving ?

No and sorry if it sounded like I'm someone with my head so far up my backside to try such a thing.

This DAP is so full featured they threw in a SINK.

Or at least that's what it says in bt dac mode lol. BT SINK.

Help me remind them after holidays to correct the typo!

Haha, I also thought it was a typo, but it’s not. Read here:

https://source.android.com/devices/bluetooth/services

“A Bluetooth connection lets users stream audio on Bluetooth-enabled devices. For most audio use cases, the Android device is the source, and the rendering device, such as a speaker or a headset, is the sink.”

I have information on protective covers for the M11Pro. The other day, they answered me from the dd store, they told me that the protective covers for the M11Pro will be available on October 8th. The protective case for the M11Pro will be available in two color options: "dark-green" and "black."

Haha, thanks for the info.


Well alright, I guess since we're all on the same page you could say we're n-sync.




That case is not doing the DAP any favors visually IMO. Tacky like the dollar store phone cases... .02

I agree, the DD case is just silly with its wide open panel on the back. Pity the don't make the silicone case for the M11 Pro because it just works so well with the M11, especially if you then carry it around in a leather or canvas sleeve like those designed for larger cellphones.

Any sound quality impressions? Comparisons with FiiO M11 or iBasso DX220? Music app (Tidal, Quobuz...) streaming problems like the M11? Awaiting them to pre-order it (or not)...thanks

No issues with the DAP yet personally. I have ran it on wi-fi streaming Tidal as well as a usb dac from my laptop and Note 10+. BT dac mode works great too but only for audio as there's latency issues with video.

The sound is desktop quality for IEMs but I would shy away from this model if you have harder to drive cans because it's only just able to power my Elears to satisfaction in High Gain mode.

that's why high gain mode exists, is for harder to drive cans..

With High Gain ON, my Elears (Are these not considered easy to drive for cans? 80ohm) are just loud enough at 90-100% volume. With a hard to drive can (Like an HD800 @ 300ohm), you'd be listening to whispers.

I had the M11 and drive my 400i that have 93db eficience at 80/120 at satisfactory levels, is the pro weaker?
